The Trasher's Sunny Corner of Dank

Hello all, just finished my last 2x 600w HPS run, as this year incandescent bulbs are banned from my country and no more bulbs replacement to be found, this a new place now setup with LED Bars. I've been growing since 2002, started all organic...

The Trasher's Sunny Corner of Dank

Good stuff man!! I’m intrigued and I’m sure they’re still loving life! I normally increase slowly overtime instead of jumping that high in percentages at once. I start flower at 60% and end of week 3 I will increase 5% every 2-3 days until I’m at 100% and decrease it back down to 75% the last...

Doing the strain justice! Those leaves are the picture of health.

next run will be doing some upgrades for the new LED's quality of life LOL

Gonna be reviving and upgrading my 10 emitters irrigation system with netafim netbows drippers, old emitters were pressure compensated but always one or two emitters were lower on output even with a 60psi seaflo pump, also switching my 10x 1/4 tubbing splitter for a precision stainless steel one.
Will also test vivosun fabric 5 gallons rootpots (plants under led definetly takes longer to dry the media).

should help my life going forward :-)

Steel is always the better option. Can you add another pump and split the load between 2? Would that help at all? I’m super lost on hydro….

Yep I could add a second pump and use 2 splitters, but 60psi should work for only 10 emitters tho. Netafim is top of the line in emmiters design should work better than what I had.

Do you notice any difference in flavour when using LED over HPS?
Click to expand...
From comparisons with same clone under friends leds and my hps yes there is a difference not huge and could be because another style/media/nutritional were used too.

But led definitely had a stronger deeper terpene profile everytime we compared.

I would say 5-10% overall stronger not huge but noticable tho ;-)

Thanks for your input. It would be good to do a side-by-side test to see the difference, as I did 1 under led one time and the taste was not quite as good as the HPs, which had the same pheno soil and such.

Interesting, one thing we also observed my hps buds were always at least double the size of my friends LEDs, but a little less dense too.

The tendency to foxtail late flower is much higher with hps than led it seems.
Also my friends running led run pure coco and different nutrition schedules.

The led had a bit more strength on the high, but the hps had more flavour. The seeds, were all s1 so identical, same soil and such to though the led where not the best.

Hummm different S1 seeds can be very different too, terpenes, structure and architecture normally is much more stable with s1`s . Do a clone comparison it would be best.

S1 seeds are 50% more stable in general terms, but not 100% tho ;-)

will after try this with identical plants, lights, and such.
